In the Library at D Cottage. You ask me, lady, why the hours Fleet gaily in this home of mine This sunny home, where fragrant flowers Above their marble base entwine; If sage's lore or poet's lay Have power to charm my listening ear ; Or tales of countries far away. Or attic wit that sparkles here ? Nor lore, nor lay, nor wit I prize ; Nor tale, nor converse sweet, beguile My ev'ning hours, though gazing eyes Admire my graceful form the while. 'Tis cordial kindness, fond and true, Still makes m...y life one summer day, And brightens ev'ry joy for you, That glows in friendship's genial ray. Oh ! take your lyre, and while my song In dulcet notes is warbled low, Your strains of gratitude prolong For blessings I can never know. Free as the birds that float in air, Your course no narrow precincts bounds ; Go, soften woe and lighten care, And spread the balm of kindness round. 122 THE GOLDFINCH. ORDER PASSERES. The Goldfinch. , # Fringilla carduelis. THIS is one of the most elegant of our English birds; graceful in form, and arrayed in much more brilliant colours than the birds of this cli- mate usually exhibit.
